Laurence Vaughan, 17, is currently on trial with League One side Gillingham FC, after impressing at our Essex trial earlier in May. Laurence, who was with MK Dons for 5 years, displayed great dribbling, passing and exceptional crossing ability during his stint on the left wing.

He said, “When I was at MK Dons they took care of my training really, but since I was released I’ve had to do it all myself. Every day I go up to the local astro pitch or the park and do fitness work. I time my runs, push ups, sit ups, etc and work with the ball too, to make it more realistic.”

"My UK Football Trial was very good, I’ve been to trials with other people in the past and nothing has come of it so I was a bit hesitant, but doing this trial was the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve not really had scouts watching me before but here you can see them walking around with pen and paper, watching you closely, so it was great."
